Review summary

Nice to  be in the warmer weather.  HAL ships are nice, but the smaller ones seem to be better at some things, such as keeping food hot.  Booking back to back one of the few rooms left as by the elevators, should have known better, will not do it next time.  But the room is nice and the warmer weather a treat.  1/2 way through the second week now,

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Thanks for posting your first review here on the Website.

I never book next to an elevator as these rooms tend to be noisier.  I leave them for those who have trouble walking.  Everyone is different in their needs and wants so it is good that there are plenty of options on cruise ships.  I did a Back-To-Back on HAL last year and both cruises went very well.  They were both so different.
